If you’d like to transfer a domain from one registrar to another, you will need a special domain authorization code, which may be called by various names – an EPP authentication code, an Auth code, a domain password, and so on. All these names refer to the exact same thing – a code that the domain name registrant obtains from the present domain registrar and gives to the new one upon ordering. Without a valid code, a domain transfer cannot be initiated and this is one of the protection mechanisms against unwanted transfers used with all generic and with most country-specific extensions. For greater safety, the code includes digits and/or special characters and is case-sensitive, so in case you would like to transfer one of your domain names, you have to supply the new domain name registrar with the right code.

EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Website Hosting

If you’ve got a domain name registered through our company and you have a shared website hosting account with us, getting its EPP transfer code is astonishingly easy. You will not have to log in and out of different admin dashboards, since you can administer all your domain names through the exact same Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is used to manage your web hosting account. You will see all existing domains the moment you sign in and next to the domains whose extensions require an EPP code in order to be transferred away, you will notice a mini EPP icon. All it takes to get the code is to click on the icon. The code is always emailed to the domain registrant’s email address, so if the one that you specified originally isn’t valid any longer, you can edit it with several clicks from the very same section.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you register a domain under a semi-dedicated server account with us, you’ll be able to obtain its EPP transfer authentication code with just one single mouse click, if you decide to transfer it to some other registrar company. All it takes to do that is to log in to your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, to go to the Registered Domains section and to click on the EPP button, which will be next to the domain name. Of course, this button will be there only if the specific gTLD or ccTLD extension supports transfers with an EPP code. Within sixty seconds, an email that includes the EPP code will be sent to the domain name owner’s email address associated with that domain name. You can modify the latter through the same Control Panel section – if the one that is currently listed in the WHOIS register isn’t a valid one. As the update will propagate without delay, you can request the EPP code immediately after that.
